SAN QUENTIN 2: DEATH ROW: SLOT OVERVIEW
Last Updated: September 26, 2024Written by Stephen Cummings
The SlotsHawk team are well and truly prepared for what we expect to be yet another ground-breaking new slot from NoLimit City. San Quentin 2: Death Row.
What can we say about San Quentin 2: Death Row? First of all, bonus symbols also act as wild’s and if you combine the xBet feature with this, then you can begin to hit much more frequent wins then what we are used to when playing NoLimit City slots.
Due to our close relationship with NoLimit City, we do have some exclusive information which includes the expected max payout which will be 200,000x, making San Quentin 2: Death Row easily one of the best payout slot games ever made, behind only another slot from NoLimit City, Tombstone RIP.
SAN QUENTIN 2: DEATH ROW FIRST IMPRESSIONS
We immediately noticed the hit frequency was good here, but we did start the game using the xBet feature with our initial bet being 40p per spin with an extra 40p per spin added on to guarantee one bonus symbol.
We began with a few small wins before the wins began to dry up. We hit a fairly early free spins bonus (ironically when we turned off the xBet feature), but unfortunately our multipliers were very uninspiring and we only won a small amount across seven free spins. When the Green Mile free spins begins, you have the option to gamble 5 spins in order to try to get an extra Jumping Wild.
We do not recommend paying for the guaranteed double bonus symbol as it costs a lot and you only get one chance to hit the third bonus on the final reel. We paid £56 trying to trigger the bonus game using the double xBet feature, but to no avail. Therefore, we recommend avoiding this.
Overall, we lost just over £100 and we did get frustrated by how long it takes to do a single spin as the bonus symbol turns into a wild.
SAN QUENTIN 2: DEATH ROW SLOT FEATURES
Similar to other modern slot games, San Quentin 2: Death Row is packed full of features, all of which we have outlined for you below.
ENHANCER CELLS
You will quickly notice that on the top and bottom of the reels, there are locked Enhancer Cell positions. When triggered to open, they reveal one of the top 5 paying symbols: Wild, Razor Split, or the xWays symbol.
SPLIT WILD
During the main game, Split Wilds can land on any reel. These will split all of the regular symbols on the same reel, but the Split Wild will not split itself.
BONUS SCATTERS
The bonus symbol can land on any reel. Landing one or two in the main game will turn it to Wild and open the Cell Enhancer on its own reel only. Landing three or more bonuses will trigger Green Mile spins.
GREEN MILE SPINS
Triggered by 3, 4 or 5 bonus symbols, Green Mile Spins will also come with 1, 2 or 3 Jumping Wilds. You will also have the opportunity to accumulate additional Jumping Wilds. The maximum number of Jumping Wilds awarded is 5. The number of Jumping Wilds will also determine the Enhancer Cells.
- 1 Jumping Wild: 3 reels with active Enhancer Cells.
- 2 Jumping Wild: 4 reels with active Enhancer Cells.
- 3, 4 or 5 Jumping Wild: 5 reels with active Enhancer Cells.
The likelihood of triggering the Green Mile spins is 1 in 299 spins, on average.
JUMPING WILDS
These will jump to a random regular position on the reels for each spin. If you manage to land a Jumping Wild on a reel with a Razor Split enhancer, it will double its multiplier for the duration of the Green Mile spins and also double positions on the same row.
XBET
For two times the base bet, one guaranteed scatter will land every spin.
Two guaranteed scatters can be activated for 45 times the base bet.
Full List of Features:
- Free spins (Green Mile Spins)
- xSplit
- xWays
- xBet
- Enhancer cells
- Scatter symbols
- Multipliers
- Wild symbols
- Jumping wild symbols
SAN QUENTIN 2: DEATH ROW RETURN TO PLAYER (RTP)
San Quentin 2: Death Row has an RTP of 96.13%. This is an important factor to know as SlotsHawk regard any RTP of above 96% as acceptable. If you are interested in learning more about RTP, then you can see our guide to RTP and the highest RTP slots.
SAN QUENTIN 2: DEATH ROW MAXIMUM PAYOUTS
As we have already eluded to, San Quentin 2: Death Row has max payout of 200,000 x your bet. This makes this slot the second highest paying slot of all time. However, we want to make you aware that the likelihood of triggering the maximum possible payout is 1 in 1.5m spins.
STRATEGIES WHEN PLAYING SAN QUENTIN 2: DEATH ROW FOR REAL MONEY
A good strategy to implement is taking the xBet feature which will cost you an extra bet per spin. For example, if you are betting 40p per spin, it will cost another 40p to guarantee one scatter symbol.
We do not recommend taking the double xBet as this will cost you 45x the bet.
EXTRA INFO
San Quentin 2: Death Row is played on a 4-4-4-4-4 grid with 1,024 paylines. It is important to note that the volatility is ‘extreme’ and is therefore the highest available (see our guide to high volatility slots for more information.) Unlike previous NoLimit City slots, this one will only have one free spins game (Green Mile spins). The minimum bet when playing for real cash is 20p per spin and the maximum bet is 60p per spin. San Quentin 2: Death Row was released on 24/09/2024.
THE SLOTSHAWK VERDICT
“With its extreme volatility and huge max payout multiplier of 200,000x, San Quentin 2: Death Row has certainly gotten the SlotsHawk team excited. We are a fan of just the one free spins game too.”
